Jennifer Lopez says she wouldn't have been able to make it in Los Angeles without the help of Jamie Foxx, who she worked alongside on the iconic series, In Living Color. Speaking with Entertainment Weekly for a recent interview, she admitted: "If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t have made it through that season."
Moving from New York City, she explained that the shift to Los Angeles was nearly too difficult to bear. “That was when I first got to L.A…. I used to [go back to New York] every weekend ’cause I was so lonely — I hated it, I missed my family,” she told Jharrel Jerome. “Jamie and I, we became really good friends, and we’re still friends to this day, honestly. If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t have got through that. I might have moved back to New York, and none of this would have ever happened. We would not be here right now.”
